8 ZIMMER GMBH DAEMPFUNGSSYSTEME UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE ZIMMER GROUP Zimmer GmbH Daempfungssysteme - a success story. Zimmer GmbH Daempfungssysteme has been researching, developing and producing individual dampers and damping systems at the highest level since These product images show an overview of our pneumatic and fl uid dampers and our automatic feeder or damping units The beginning and the breakthrough Zimmer GmbH Daempfungssysteme originated in 2004 as an independent company under the umbrella of the Zimmer Group. The initial requests from a renowned fitting manufacturer were still directed to the Zimmer industrial shock absorber division. After overcoming the start-up difficulties, as pioneers in the Soft Close area, we were successful at convincing this initial prospective customer of our capability. That was the breakthrough. Production location: Germany After that, additional orders followed and Zimmer GmbH Daempfungssysteme growth could not be stopped. And not just in relation to the variety of its products. Because more products increased the requirements for our production plants, all of which we develop and manufacture in-house. Over the years, these became more and more complex and increasingly automated. We take pride in our production location in Germany, where several hundred-million dampers were manufactured in recent years at a quality standard that continues to rise. 8 Data, Drawings, 3-D Models, Operating Instructions

9 For us, the focus is on the customer As in the other companies of the Zimmer Group, at Daempfungssysteme GmbH, the customer is always in focus. In our development departments, the pneumatic and fluid dampers are adapted to customer requirements and constantly being optimized. Our product complexity increases at the same time. It also goes without saying that, along with our production, we continuously expand and optimize our quality management. A result of this is that all of our products only reach our global clientele after a 100 % inspection of the dimensions and function. Along with this, our independent sales activities have also accelerated in recent years. The sales department has its finger on the pulse of the market and responds immediately to the demands of our customers. Each individual pneumatic damper is subject to an automatic visual inspection Data, Drawings, 3-D Models, Operating Instructions 9

10 PNEUMATIC DAMPERS CLASSIC Zimmer s story of success in soft close technology goes back years and has its origins in the development and production of pneumatic dampers. The primary distinguishing feature of our pneumatic dampers is their longevity. Our ideas have been tested and proven in real-world applications and are protected by patents. Damping process The damping process using a pneumatic damper is characterized by a braking phase with a short stop and subsequent transition into the return phase. Characteristics All pneumatic dampers have similar characteristics. They exhibit a nearly parallel shift at various load bearing capacities. Loading options The loading options are specified in kilograms. This figure represents the horizontally moved mass (such as the drawer weight including the load), which acts on the damper. Pneumatic damper characteristic Distance [m] Time [s] Phase 1: Strong braking phase Phase 2: Short stop/reversal point Phase 3: Damped return phase closing time Phase 4: Returned 10 Data, Drawings, 3-D Models, Operating Instructions

11 FLUID DAMPERS HIGH PERFORMANCE Fluid dampers have also been an integral part of Zimmer Group s product portfolio for many years. The fluid dampers of the Zimmer-Group do represent exhibit a high level of dependability and great load bearing capacity. Damping process The damping process using a fluid damper is characterized by an almost smooth transition from the braking phase to the return phase without stopping between the two phases. Characteristics The characteristics differ between linear, linear-constant or S-curve characteristics depending on the fluid damper being used. Loading options The loading options are specified in newtons. This figure represents the axial load on the damper. The force depends on the speed acting upon the damper. We take our measurements at a standard speed of 50 mm/s (other speeds can also be measured to fit customer requirements).

12 EXPLANATION ITEM NUMBERS AND FREE-RUN Explanation of item numbers The item numbers consist of the product group, the stroke (in mm), the housing diameter (in mm) as well as a sequential number. Example: "Calmo" A Product group Stroke Diameter Sequential number This refers to a pneumatic damper (air) with a 42 mm stroke, a housing diameter of 10 mm and the product version is 006. Product group/division: A: Air (pneumatic damper) B: Fitting D: Miscellaneous E: Self-closing return F: Fluid S: Set Definition of free-run In many cases, the damping process is interrupted in the last millimeters to ensure that the system is securely closed. This is necessary, for example, when using busts or if there are damping of sliding doors problems in the system. This closing support is called free-run Data, Drawings, 3-D Models, Operating Instructions

33 SYSTEMS STANDARD SYSTEMS UNITS PRODUCT GROUP INFORMATION Systems and components Along with components, the Zimmer Group also offers complete, nearly universal and immediately usable systems. Our systems are complete damping units with an integrated self return mechanism. Our customers can integrate the systems directly into their rails without requiring that the rails already be equipped with a corresponding return mechanism. Universal - Innovative - Versatile These are the core attributes of our systems. Systems / Soft Close Function Drawer and sliding door damping Our systems demonstrate a similar function: Elements Soft Close systems consist of a damping unit with an integrated self closing mechanism and a locking lever. In addition, there is an actuator available in different versions depending on the application. Drawer 1Drawer home position - The Retro soft close system is screwed onto the cabinet frame. The actuator is fastened to the drawer. 2Closing the drawer - The actuator fastened to the drawer moves inwards with the drawer and edges its way toward the Retro soft close system fastened to the cabinet frame in the process. If the actuator reaches the system, the system's locking lever is triggered by the actuator and fi xed in place. At this point, the damping and self return phase begins: Soft Close! Sliding door 1Sliding door home position - The Silento Forte soft close system is fastened to the rail. The actuator is fastened to the sliding door. The specifi c fastening options differ depending on the application. 2Closing the sliding door - The actuator fastened to the sliding door engages the system locking lever. The self return mechanism is triggered in the process. At this point, the damping and self return phase begins: Soft Close! Data, Drawings, 3-D Models, Operating Instructions 33

34 3.2 RETRO THE AUTOMATIC RETURN MECHANISM FOR DRAWER DAMPING PRODUCT ADVANTAGES Retro 2 + Retro 4 / Systems / Soft Close The RETRO automatic self-closing unit consists of a pneumatic damper with integrated self return mechanism. The RETRO automatic self-closing unit is available individually or in a set with various actuators. The geometry of the RETRO automatic self-closing unit derives primarily from its function. The focus is on the visually functional design with the most compact dimensions possible. The RETRO automatic self-closing unit features a high load capacity. For weights to be dampened of 25 kg per unit. Zimmer recommends using two RETRO automatic self-closing unit per drawer to ensure the most symmetrical closing behavior possible. The strengths of the automatic self-closing unit are its versatile application options, high fl exibility, modular design and compactness. The RETRO automatic self-closing unit can be installed both horizontally and vertically without special previous knowledge. Pneumatic damping The RETRO automatic self-closing unit is also well-suited for retrofi tting a drawer not yet equipped with a damping and return mechanism. The RETRO automatic self-closing unit can be integrated in a variety of installation options in low-weight drawers.
